DonDustin: the mesh is really great, but as Misha already pointed out: the walk animation looks very boring. I really think you should think about a way to make it look a bit more interesting.

DonDustin: bah....whatever. It is still good enough

 

[Misha]

Lemme check this one... :3

EDIT: pretty robotic movements i can see.. but it looks flowing enough :3
My only concern is the walk animation, which could do with a bit more vivid movement or something that shows the thing is goin' somewhere...

and the texture is interesting.. all those unused parts kinda give a sneak peek and a teaser

 

[Scythy Dervish]

Wow Ilike this

Looks great

 

[Fingolfin]

Dondustin, i can see how this model would look slightly better through levitating some up and down in the walk anim, but if you tested it ingame, it does have blue ribbons leaving engine trails, and i don't have the time nor resources to do any further edits to this model, i am sorry. I do appreciate you being constructive though.

And to Misha, I guess robotic movements mean good, since this is - infact - a robot.

 

[RiotZ]

So does this mean you have completely scrapped the project?

 

[Fingolfin]

Nah, only that if i ever consider redoing it, it would be for SC2. WC3 is simply not capable to preform what i had planned for the map while still being playable on b-net.
I would be doing new, more detailed models then, and those would have no other use than to be uploaded here.

 

[Alfagar]

Great!

 

[CyberDuelX16]

And thus begins the complete hegemonic domination of machine models

 

[Lungdrache]

Cool!I wanted to use this in my map.

 

[RiotZ]

Har har har... Starcraft II isn't going to deliver what it should. I doubt it's going to be ground-breaking, and I'm also questioning whether it will work on my comp or not.... Maybe I should try to get a beta key for a test, and the fact that campaigns will be seperate pisses me off... Your better off ________ it.

How are those WWII models coming along btw?

 

[Fingolfin]

Starcraft will be different in the way it is capable of handling UI, turrets, movement, and cameras without the problem of delayed synchonization on battlenet. Also, it supports new texture layers that warcraft does not, namely specular lighting and bump/normal mapping, which would make it so much more fun and visually rewarding to model.

The ww2 project is doing nice, but i am currently waiting for James to log on back to solve some issues. I also have little time to model now, until i finish school on the 11th of june.



EDIT: Having the campaigns separate simly means that more content will be brought into the game, and it might also solve issues that come up through community feedback. The campaigns will be at much reduced prize compared to the original game, so don't worry.

 

[RiotZ]

Well if I do get it I will probably ______ the campaigns.

 

[Teaspoon]

God I hate those small bastards! They wre a pain in the ass on legendary :S Anyways, good job and it'd be cool to see more halo stuff here on THW.

 

[Etzer]

Wow, this is epic. BTW, its movements ARE robotic, it's a robot which FLIES.
Go play Halo.

 

[blek121]

ÄNTLIGEN! OMG YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE THIS <33333333333333333333333333333

 

[Fingolfin]

lol etzer, he didn't judge it as bad just because it looked robotic, he was posting critisism, and you don't have to be rude about it.

Thank you all for the comments, however

 

[De.Facto]

Interesting robot, indeed! It's too bad about your halo-project. Would've been awsome to see it finished.

Well, keep looking forward. (;

 

[EvilGlich]

Hey Man, i have been searching for Halo Models for ages, all i could find was a Grunt, and Various Wepons, that i cant be bothered figuring out how to put onto a unit, unless i have Halo Models, and if your still going to bring out all your Halo Models, have you considered bringing them out in a Pack, much like the 40K one brought out by :Burning_Dragoon5

 

[Fingolfin]

Yes, i actually have. I am at least more than ready for a halo weapons pack, but all the doodads will be released in a sample map. They are too many and some too simple to be released individually.

 

[Draconic_Wolf]

Cool model man looks great for a warcrap... warcraft* model. I hope to see this model for sc2, it would be useful.

Btw I once found one of those things to fire needles instead of the normal lazer, EVUIL needles try to kill me on legendary. (Best stunt done in halo 2 by me would have to flying a banshee into the boss area.)

 

[Fingolfin]

Yeah, those are called enforcers. I was making one once, but it never got finished.
Thanks for the nice reply.

 

[Etzer]

Or Sentinel Major.

 

[Fingolfin]

Perhaps one day i'll make a shield attatchment for this model. That might work nice.

 

[N00B5600]

Yes! And they look even better without that annoying Guilty Spark near them.

 

[Master_Elite]

I love your work but i'm just going to have to say in my professorial opinion that this doesn't look right and needs to be reshaped. I like your work but.......You know.... 3/5

 

[Fingolfin]

LOL
The shape is actually correct (save for perhaps the laser beam at the bottom), however, particle effects and animations are pretty outdated. I'm not going to bother redoing anything though.

 

[clockwork2]

It's a robot dude, Robots don't look like most things, lol.
Anyways, coolio! If I did a Halo map, I'd probably use em, right now though. I'm working on making UNSC Shps for tibsun, I'll post pics when I get them done!
Halo fans are welcome to look, post opinions and ideas, and give helpful criticism(HELPFUL, like the helmet is bad, try doing this. Not it looks like cr*p.)

 

[Aloino]

Wow this is epic 9/10

 

[BlazeDark86]

4/5

 

[sunshinex3]

Plz continue to release these models to the hive fin.
